I've been finding these random bbs at the bottom of my swimming pool randomly appearing for the past 2 months. Sometimes, a few days goes by before any new ones are found but more recently, I've found them popping up twice in the same day. I clean them out and they just appear again a few hours later. Sometimes, only a few show up and other times, many more. I've set up cameras outside but haven't captured anything yet. I'm hoping someone else here has a clue what's going on here. I've smashed them to see what they're made up and theyre "chalky"...

Are they the same size and colors as the pebbles in your finish? Though you said they are not rock. Perhaps retake that picture with something in it for size (like a coin). Some sort of animal's deposit I would suspect.

There are some fairly negative issues associated with those pellets, not just that they fall out. Do read the suggested articles.
